Watch nowDopamine is a neurotransmitter best known for its role in motor, motivation, and pleasure control. A new study highlights vitamin D's influence on dopamine signaling and emphasizes its essential role in the normal development of dopamine-producing cells. Researchers developed three cell lines to mimic the natural process of embryonic development, during which cells differentiate (specialize) into dopamine-producing neurons. Then they cultured the cells in the presence or absence of vitamin D. They found that vitamin D participated in neuronal growth and branching, the rearrangement of presyna... vitamin d brain omega-3 neurotransmitter schizophrenia dopamine
Read moreNutrition experts have long known that olive oil, which is rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds, provides protection against cardiovascular disease. But a recent review suggests that the beneficial effects of olive oil extend to maternal and fetal health, too. Pregnant women who consumed more olive oil were less likely to develop pregnancy-related complications, and their infants were more likely to have healthy weights than those who consumed less. Researchers analyzed the findings of nine studies investigating the effects of olive oil on maternal and fetal outcomes. More than 44,000... nutrition diet pregnancy

Watch nowA high dose of fish oil (4g/day) lowered triglyceride levels by 20-30% in people with high triglycerides according to an analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials reviewed by the scientific advisory council at the American Heart Association. "In analyzing the current scientific data, the advisory panel found: •For most people with high triglycerides (200 to 499 mg/dL), prescription doses of omega-3 fatty acids using drugs with either EPA+DHA or EPA alone can reduce triglyceride by 20 to 30%. •Contrary to common perception, the formula that contains both EPA and DHA does not increase the "bad... heart disease omega-3 triglycerides

Telomere length is a biomarker of healthy aging with shorter telomeres indicating accelerated aging. Lifestyle factors that have been shown to delay telomere shortening including physical exercise, vitamin D sufficiency, omega-3 fatty acid sufficiency, and meditation. ... aging telomeres omega-3 stress vitamin a
Read moreFTA: > While recent reports question whether fish oil supplements support heart health, scientists have found that the fatty acids they contain are vitally important to the developing brain. Neurobiologists report that dietary deficiencies in the type of fatty acids found in fish and other foods can limit brain growth during fetal development and early in life. The findings suggest that women maintain a balanced diet rich in these fatty acids for themselves during pregnancy and for their babies after birth. ... nootropics omega-3 pregnancy neurons
